Plasmapheresis for Fulminant Wilson's Disease Improves Mental Status and Coagulopathy.
Article in Case reports in hepatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Wilson's disease is a rare genetic condition that affects copper metabolism, resulting in tissue copper accumulation and resultant organ damage. We report a case of a young woman who presents with Wilson's disease complicated by hemolysis, impaired hepatic function, coagulopathy, and acute kidney injury. She was treated with plasmapheresis as a bridge to a liver transplant. Her mental state, renal function, and bilirubin level improved after starting plasmapheresis. She successfully underwent a liver transplant and remained stable post-liver transplant. We share our experience on the use of plasmapheresis in treating Wilson's disease.
